Enthusiastic and experienced sitter

28, Concierge/Front Desk

Hi! I’m Jess. I’ll be in Australia for a year from November 12th on a work and holiday visa. I’m from the US. Last year I was in New Zealand on the working holiday visa and I house sat almost weekly while I was there. I’m a huge animal lover and also was the recruitment coordinator for 10 months for the RNZSPCA in Auckland.

I have a cat named Mate 🐈‍⬛🧉. I adopted him while I lived in Uruguay. He’s waiting for me in the US while I’m in Australia. Of course he’s jealous, but he knows I can’t resist looking after other pets until he and I can reunite.

I do not drink or smoke.

Jess looked after our 2 cats Maisie and Roly very well, and they were very contented when we returned home. I was able to meet Jess before she sat, and there was excellent communication while we were away. The garden was well watered and the house as tidy as when we left it. Thank you so much Jess.

Would 100% recommend Jess to look after your fur babies! Thanks Jess for looking after Merlin and Luna and our house like they were your own. Loved the communication updates and photos of our babies while we were away. We will be booking you again!

Jess housesat for us in May and was fantastic, so when we had our next holiday we were delighted she was available to sit for us again. Jess is lovely and so great with our cats - they have really taken to her. She’s also really respectful of our home. We loved receiving the regular photos and updates while we were on holiday. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jess!

Jess is a Beautiful hearted young lady who absolutely loves cats so ... for me, a perfect fit for our very spoiled, over indulged Wally who we worry about when we're away. I received constant reports and pics, She followed instructions meticulously and the house was immaculate upon my return. I would love her to look after Wally again and highly recommend her. 👌

Jess did a great job looking after my house and my elderly labradoodle - Ella. When I returned everything was just as I left it and Ella was happy and content. I would be very happy for Jess to house sit for me at any time in the future.

Hi Jess thank you so much for looking after our cat and the house for five weeks while we were away. You did an amazing job and we really enjoyed having you and trusting our house with you. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a house sitter or a pet sitter 👍👍👍

Thank you, Teresa! I absolutely loved Kitty and Bella 🤗
Jess was the perfect house-sitter. It was so easy to arrange and communication was excellent. My cats loved her, and she took such great care of the house too. I can't recommend her enough. I felt so at ease being away knowing my cats were being so well looked after.

DIANA (Remuera North Island, May 2023 - 1 day) From Kiwi House Sitters
We are so glad to have found Jess to pet sit for our us and our 3 cats on our first extended trip away from them! Jess really quickly formed a bond with our 3 cats, including with our shyest one (who my family are still trying to win over!). It was great to know they were in loving & capable hands while we were away! She also took great photos of the cats and we absolutely loved these regular updates. Jess is fantastic. Friendly, easy to get along with, responsive and great with ... MORE

Couldn't have asked for a better house sitter. Jess met with us for a short initial get together to discuss house sitting...then came to dinner, in order to get to know the cats a bit more given their medical needs. She was very organised, and we were able to sort the house sitting within 24 hours-which was a great relief for us. She was very studious and conscientious about her responsibilities in looking after the place...which she did with aplomb. Although house-related IT issues meant ... MORE

I am thrilled to share my positive experience with Jess as a housesitter. From the moment I met her, I knew she was a true animal lover, and I felt confident that my cat Juniper was in good hands. Jess's excellent communication and reliability put me at ease, and I knew I could trust her to take great care of both Juniper and my home. Jess went above and beyond to ensure that Juniper was happy and comfortable, providing attention, quality time, and affection to my sweet girl. I could tell ... MORE
